I’m having hard time to help my parents troubleshoot their equipment remotely, when they try to observe the objects both with their eyes and manipulate phone camera for our video chat simultaneously. You can get sick of camera shaking, and they are getting tired too. I thought maybe if they had a VR headset and could stream their view directly to the chat, it could be helpful. Maybe I could even somehow point at things in their view to tell, for example, which cable to check. I do not own a headset, and I couldnt find info of such tools via simple/AI search (maybe wrong keywords). Maybe you know of such domestic solutions?
I think the biggest issue is that people dont like to look at the object through phone when it is much clearer here in reality. So looking for themselves and looking to show it to assistant naturally split into two separate processes. While looking “for yourself” the phone is randomly dangling in the hand, making the stream sea/sickening.
So I thought, VR headsets have a good see-through mode, which could also be streamed. It also could easily display a pointer from remote. Thus both processes would merge into one, and you could directly comment on what is on focus.
